ID Card Kit Builder

Question 1 of 6

Do you want a Full ID Card Kit or just a Refill Pack?

Refill Pack Starting from [$13.98]

Full ID Card Kit Starting from [$64.99]

ArcadiaID recommends purchasing the Full ID Card Kit if this is your first time making ID Cards
and you do not have a laminator. The Full ID Card Kits include the laminator, synthetic paper,
butterfly pouches and holographic overlays needed to make ID cards.

If you already have a laminator ArcadiaID recommends getting the Refill Pack which includes
the synthetic paper, butterfly pouches and holographic overlays needed to make ID cards.

Please note that ArcadiaID recommends using an EasyIDea™ minilam™ ID Card Pouch
Laminator. These laminators have been specifically designed to laminate ID cards and badges
and are already pre-set to the optimal laminating temperature. Standard laminators are
designed to laminate photos and might not work as well as the EasyIDea™ minilam™ ID Card
Pouch Laminator. If you are using a standard laminator you will need to set the laminating
temperature to 270F.

It is important to determine which type of printer you are going to use to make ID cards as it
will dictate the type of synthetic paper you can use.

Artisyn® is a premium brand of synthetic paper that can be used with both Inkjet and
Laser printers. Artisyn® will provide sharper and brighter printing quality than Teslin®.
Artisyn® comes in full 8.5” by 11” full sheets or in 8.5” by 11” pre-perforated 8-up
sheets.

Teslin® is synthetic paper that comes in two grades – Inkjet and Laser. Teslin® paper
comes in full 8.5” by 11” full sheets, 8.5” by 11” pre-perforated 8-up sheets and 3” by 4”
pre-perforated 1-up sheets.

Each pre-perforated insert tears out easily, eliminating the need for scissors, and reducing the
time it takes to make ID cards from minutes to seconds! ID inserts measure "2.125 x 3.375" and
fit perfectly in all of ArcadiaID’s butterfly pouches. Please refer to ArcadiaID’s Tutorial Page to
download free 8-up and 1-up printing templates!

Both Artisyn® and Inkjet® can be printed on both sides.

ArcadiaID will customize your Full ID Card Kit or Refill Pack with enough synthetic paper to
make the requested amount of cards.

Question 5 of 6

Butterfly Pouches

Do you want a Glossy or Matte finish for your ID Cards?

Glossy Matte

Do you want 7 or 10 Mil thickness for the Butterfly Pouches?

7Mil 10Mil

Do you want a card with a Magnetic Stripe?

No Yes

Butterfly laminating pouches come in 2 different finishes:

Glossy — The cards will have a shiny finish

Matte — The cards will diffuse direct light, eliminating any glare of reflection.

To make a standard 30 mil ID card a 10 mil butterfly pouch is needed.

A 10 mil butterfly pouch is needed to make a 30 mil — the standard thickness for all
identification cards – identification card. A 7 mil butterfly pouch will make a thinner ID card.

A HiCo magnetic stripe can be added to each butterfly pouch. Magnetic Stripes are easily
encoded with a magnetic stripe encoder such as ArcadiaID’s EasyIDea™ Magnetic Stripe
Encoder. This Encoder is also compatible with ALL MSR206 software.

ArcadiaID will customize your Full ID Card Kit or Refill Pack with enough butterfly pouches to
make the requested amount of cards.

Mark of Business

Would you like UV Ink on the Holograms?

No Yes

Adding an overlay to your ID cards will not only make your card more durable but will add an
additional layer of visual security.

ID overlays are available with a either full spectrum holographic design or a simple clear non-holographic protective finish.

ArcadiaID will customize your Full ID Card Kit or Refill Pack with enough overlays to make the
requested amount of cards.
